Here Are the Top 3 Acadiana Grocery Stores With the Lowest Prices

The cost of feeding a family since the COVID-19 pandemic is astronomical. Food costs are soaring throughout the US. In 2021, the USDA estimates feeding a family of 4 healthy meals for a month, assuming all meals and snacks are prepared at home, costs somewhere between $611 and $1,217. Factor in meals outside of the home and that number climbs much higher. So it saves to prepare meals at home. But in order to do that, you have to shop for food. Now the challenge becomes finding the grocery store with the best prices.

I don't know why anyone shops at Albertsons. They are definitely the highest in the area. Wish Lafayette had a Krogers. -Keith Olivier

Good news Keith, Kroger just bought out Albertsons for $26.6 billion.

Charlsie Buteaux claims you can save money if you use apps and coupons.

It depends. If you shop according to the weekly sale papers and their apps with coupons, you could shop for a reasonable amount of money. I've gotten some pretty decent deals at Albertsons and Rouses. -Charlsie Buteaux
